40 years ago we open The Nordmarken Kanot Center at Risviken
Årjäng, in the beginning of the month of May. Lots of water has flown down the
river since 1975. 10 Thousands of guests have been on canoe and wilderness
tours here in Nordmarken. Many dreams of solitude in the nature have been fulfilled
during all this years.

In the year of 1975 we didn’t have Bears, Wolfs and Beaver
in the area and only a small number of Lynx.
Now we have report of this animals to be seen very often of locals and
a few of our guests.

We are, or better our son Kim is working hard to make some improvement
at the Canoe Center.

I got a new office for me at the main private building and
where I can have all memories since we started the Canoe business 1956. I even
have a lot of equipment I´m using when we run Survival and Bushcraft training.
The rooms I left at the Canoe Center is now arranged so that we can take guests
for overnight, there is also a kitchen, shower and a toilet.

We have a little Bear (our Mascot) taking care of us all
this years since 1956 and he or she was out this morning to check all the
flowers around our Base Camp.

The coming weeks are some of the best weeks for canoeing,
hiking and fishing.

The canoe season start soon and our canoe waters will have a
some folks on tour in the drinkable waters in Nordmarken. Please be care full
with our nature and waters.

There is a parasitic known as Giardia Lamblia coming from
human wastes-Giardiasis is an intestinal infection caused by a microscopic,
single-celled parasite known as Giardia lamblia. A parasite is an organism that
lives on or inside another organism called the host. Typically found in lakes,
streams, or ponds that have been contaminated by human.

So I have a please! Use the toilets on the campsites in the
area or dig a deep whole when you need .

There is a book call How
to Shit in the woods, try to read it.

From The Holy Bible is written MOSES Chapter 23 :12.13

“You shall have a special place outside your camp, where
you can go to.

With you, you should have a stick and when you want to
sit out there you should dig a hole and the cover your droppings”

That’s a free translation done by me.

So please take care of our water so we still can
drink it in the future.

Sometimes people cower missing experience with equipment,
but it’s better to cower missing equipment with experience, which is a small
price to pay for such great results on a canoe tour. A friendly advice from
Nordmarken Canoe Center in Sweden www.nordkanot.se

Just sorting out photos when rebuilding our office. I found
one from the last time The Macfie Canoe Club was here at the Canoe Center in
Risviken and another drawings from Canada shoving a “Canot de Maitre” , a large
11.5 meter long Montreal Kanot. We have two Amik and Sagwa.
